Eddie’s Services: Life-sized sculptures of a series of birds and mammals, cast in bronze
using lost-wax casting method, hand patinated meaning each piece is unique!
From being a small child, Eddie had become totally fascinated by all kinds of wildlife. He set his heart on becoming a wildlife conservationist. On leaving school at 15, he studied hard at evening classes to get enough qualifications to go to university. He enrolled at university to do an honours degree in Biological Services. It was at this time that he realised that he had also entered the art world through a back door.
To become a top field biologist, it was essential that you could sketch quickly, accurately, and proficiently, for both recording and identification purposes. It was also a long-standing tradition that good biologists were often good artists. He found he loved sketching, especially in the field, and he has carried on sketching throughout his life, and to this day he is rarely caught without his sketching bag.
Eddie also became an active wildlife conservationist for many years. In or around 1990, he visited a gallery in Suffolk and saw an exhibition by Nick Bibby featuring his wonderful wildlife sculptures. The following week, he started buying pieces of sculpting kit and then he was on his way. From his biological work, he knew he had a good knowledge of anatomy, feather groups, etc., and it all seemed to come together very quickly. Eddie had his first bronze sculpture cast within months of starting, and he has now been sculpting for 30 years, including a range of sea and shore birds, birds of prey, and mammals.
Eddie’s sculptures are all life-sized, cast in bronze, and patinated by hand, so despite being limited editions of 30 or 50, no two sculptures are ever the same, providing a unique sculpture for your home.
